About Tour Package
The Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is a sacred pilgrimage to Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar in Tibet, revered by followers of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon. Mount Kailash is believed to be the divine abode of Lord Shiva, while the waters of Mansarovar Lake are considered spiritually purifying. The journey usually takes place between May and September and includes the holy Kailash Parikrama, which devotees believe helps cleanse past karma and brings them closer to moksha, or spiritual liberation.
This 17-day pilgrimage begins in Kathmandu, where pilgrims prepare for the journey before traveling through Nepal and Tibet. Along the route, they visit sacred sites such as Mansarovar Lake, Lhasa City, Darchen, Shivsthal, Gauri Kund, and Yamdwar, while completing the Kailash Parikrama. Accommodation during the trip ranges from hotels in cities to basic guesthouses and dormitory stays during the trekking portion of the journey.
